<h3>Introduction</h3>

<p>WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and
Versioning". It is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that lets
users collaboratively edit and manage files on a remote web server.</p>

<p>Before you set up WebDAV, at least one object (i.e., file or
folder) must be in the destination Resources tool. For instructions on
adding files without using WebDAV, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=avby">Working with files in Resources</a>.</p>


<p>Saving files directly to WebDAV (i.e., from within an application,
such as Word, Excel, or Internet Explorer) does not work reliably. For
best results, save the file to your computer first, and then upload it
to your site.</p>


<p><strong>Note:</strong> Filenames that include certain characters
cannot be accepted. For a list of unsupported characters, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=auze">Unsupported characters</a>.</p>

<h3>Using Windows Vista</h3>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> Connecting to your site's Resources using
WebDAV on a computer running Windows Vista does not work
reliably. Developers are currently investigating this issue. </p>

<p>To add a shortcut to your Windows Vista computer that
allows you to upload and access files in Resources using WebDAV,
follow these steps:</p>

<ol><li>From the desktop, click <strong><code>Computer</code></strong>.<br /><br />
</li><li>Click <strong><code>Map Network Drive</code></strong>.<br /><br />
</li><li>On the Map Network Drive screen, click <strong><code>Connect to a Web site
that you can use to store your documents and pictures</code></strong>, and then
click <strong><code>Next</code></strong>.<br /><br />
</li><li>Click <strong><code>Choose a custom network location</code></strong>, and then click
<strong><code>Next</code></strong>.<br /><br />
</li><li>In the "Internet or network address" field, enter a URL that
points to the destination Resources tool, and then click
<strong><code>Next</code></strong>.

<p>Contact your site administrator for
the URL's format. It will likely include the siteID for your site.</p>



<p><strong>Note:</strong> For instructions on finding your siteID, see
<a href="content.hlp?docId=atla">Determining your site's siteID</a>.</p>
</li></ol>

<p>You may now drag and drop folders between your computer and the
sites to which you just connected. To delete an item, right-click it
and select <strong><code>Delete</code></strong>.</p>

<h3>Using Windows XP</h3>


<p>In Windows XP, you can use the Add Network Place Wizard or Internet
Explorer to upload and access your files via WebDAV, if you have the
required permissions.</p>

<h4>Using the Add Network Place Wizard</h4>

<p>To use the Add Network Place Wizard to add a shortcut to your
computer that allows you to upload and access files in Resources using
WebDAV, follow these steps:</p>

<ol><li>On the desktop, double-click <strong><code>My Network Places</code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>In the "Network Tasks" pane, click <strong><code>Add a network
place</code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>On the welcome screen, click <strong><code>Next</code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>Select <strong><code>Choose another network location</code></strong>, and then click
<strong><code>Next</code></strong>.<br /><br />
</li><li>In the "Internet or network address:" field, enter a URL that
points to the destination Resources tool.

<p>Contact your site administrator for
the URL's format. It will likely include the siteID for your site.</p>



<p><strong>Note:</strong> For instructions on finding your siteID, see
<a href="content.hlp?docId=atla">Determining your site's siteID</a>.</p>
</li></ol>

<p>You may now drag and drop folders between your computer and the
sites to which you just connected. However, you cannot delete items
from a site by dragging them to the Recycle Bin on your desktop. To
delete an item, right-click it and select <strong><code>Delete</code></strong>.</p>

<h4>Using Internet Explorer</h4>

<p>
Using Internet Explorer, you can upload and access your files via
WebDAV. To do so, follow these steps:
</p>

<ol><li>In Internet Explorer, from the <strong><code>File</code></strong> menu, select
<strong><code>Open... </code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>In the window that appears, click the checkbox next to <strong><code>Open as
Web folder</code></strong>. In the "Open:" field, enter the URL that points to
the destination Resources tool, and click <strong><code>OK</code></strong>.

<p>Contact your site administrator for
the URL's format. It will likely include the siteID for your site.</p>



<p><strong>Note:</strong> For instructions on finding your siteID, see
<a href="content.hlp?docId=atla">Determining your site's siteID</a>.</p>
</li></ol>

<p>The contents of the destination folder will appear in a window where
you can open individual files, browse to other folders on your
computer, and transfer files between folders.</p>

<p>When you're finished, exit Internet Explorer to close your connection.</p>
